Today's interview is with Erin Everleigh, mama, dentist, author, and founder of Wordsmithers Academy. Her goal is to inspire others to follow their passions and live their best lives. Join Erin as she shares how knowing your "why" helps you create art that matters.Erin says:"Over the years, my need to be creative has taken me in different directions, and eight years ago my passion for creativity led me to writing. I love getting lost in my imagination and creating new worlds. Most of all, I love the opportunities that being an author has given me. "I have had the privilege of visiting numerous schools for author-talks and book fairs. I’ve spoken to students about being an author - while also being a dentist - and the importance of following your passions. The best parts of those days were when students would approach me and talk about the stories they had written or were in the process of writing. Their excitement and pride made my heart feel so full. "I founded WordSmithers Academy with the hope of inspiring young writers to follow their dreams of becoming authors and to foster and encourage the imagination and creativity of our youth. "A favourite quote of mine is from Brené Brown, “Unused creativity is not benign.” It is the answer to a question I’m frequently asked - “How do you do it? How do you find the time to write/ teach/craft/create…?” - Embracing my creativity allows me to live an authentic and fulfilling life."You can find Erins books on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Erin-Everleigh/e/B00SDITTAISupport the kids at WordSmithers Academy by buying their book: Stories from Quarantine HEREFind amazing courses for kids at WordSmithers AcademyAnd if you want to visit Erin for her incredible dental work find her at http://scarboroughdental.ca/You can also find Erin on Instagram

Introduction to EpisodeErin Everleigh learned she had to change the narrative and just do it if she was going to tell the story that was burning inside her.Podcast Episode SummaryWe begin our conversation with “what happens after the happily ever after”. Erin Everleigh is a dentist by trade. 7 years ago, she got an itch. A story was growing inside of her, and she had to get it out. In this episode, we discuss Erin’s process, how she let her story out, and how she shares her determination and hard work with young people, so they can share their stories too. In order to write, Erin had to change the narrative of not being enough. She shares how her marks in English, which were lower than her other marks, allowed her to tell the story that she wasn’t good enough in the writing arts. Yet, upon reflection, she wrote stories as a child. So, in order to write, she had to rewrite those stories of not being enough, and then just do it. She worked to change the narrative of worry, “What if people hate it?” to, “What if people love it?”Now, she has been able to make time for writing, inspire her daughters to write more, and inspire young adults from all over to write their stories. She is changing the narrative of, “I’m not enough,” one person at a time.QuotablesAll quotes by Erin, unless otherwise noted.“You can have so many different facets to your life and what you love to do."“You can find time for the things that are important to you.”“Unused creativity is not benign.” ~ Brené Brown “You can’t hang on the excuse of I just don’t have time to do what’s important to me.”“Everyone says don’t read a book by its cover, but we all do.”“Through determination and hard work you will be unstoppable. There is no such thing as failing. Yet, we are all afraid of it.”Recommended ResourcesThe Artists Way, Julie CameronMichelle’s Time WorksheetsFind Erin on GoodreadsFind Erin on the webFor more information about Michelle, Balance Shared, events, and projects, please visit www.michellelasley.com.

Change the narrative and just do it, with Erin Everleigh

I got to tell you, this interview was not only fun but really inspiring. Erin is a woman after my own heart. Her love of reading and writing is inspiring! I can’t wait for you to meet her and hear about her latest book: BAILEX: volume 1! Erin has been a dentist for almost 15 years. She started writing roughly 6 years ago because she had an idea in her head that wouldn’t go away. That story stayed buried in the notes section of her phone for many months before she finally took out her laptop and started writing. She is a dentist educated in the sciences and thought... “Who am I to think I could write a book??” But the characters wouldn’t stop talking to her. She needed to get their story out. It was that imagination that helped push her past her insecurities. It was the craving to create that proved to her that you CAN do anything you desire. She still loves getting lost in the words and seeing where the characters take her. About 4 years ago she made a promise to her daughters that she would write a book that they could read and enjoy (her first books were intended for the adult reader). What she thought would be a short story, quickly transformed into a 400-page tale of fantasy, adventure, and personal growth. She wanted her girls, as well as the other young minds she wrote this book for, to be part of the publishing process. She wanted to show them that you are always good enough to attain your dreams. All you have to do is dream big and work hard. Getting a book out into the world requires so much more than just writing out your story, and Erin wants to bring our youth along for the ride. Hence, the WordSmithers program was born. She wants these young minds to use their critical reading and writing skills as her Beta Readers and Advanced Reviewers—the book is for them; their opinions are what matter. They see the drafting, editing, creativity, and artistry required to get to the finished product. And in the end, they will know what an integral part they played. Erin's hope is to inspire youth to reach into their imagination, to create &amp; to follow their passions...whatever they may be.
